Welcome
to Chiang Rai:
Southeast Asia’s fabled Golden Triangle lies on the edge of
an encroaching modern world. Thailand’s highways and air systems
will whisk you in hours to places it once took weeks to reach on
horseback and elephant. However, the mysterious essence of the Golden
Triangle remains undisturbed.

Today you can visit the silent, brooding ruins of Chiang Saen ,
once home to King Mengrai who united northern Thailand into the
Kingdom of Lanna. Follow the opium trail as it winds down the spine
of the Triangle to the West. Visit an anthropologist’s paradise
in the thriving villages of the Karen, Hmong, Yao Lahu, Akha, Lisu,
Shan and Lawa tribes people. Many of these villages can be reached
only on elephant or mule back, affording spectacular panoramas of
the Golden Triangle.
